Qian Cai is the director of the Demographics and Workforce unit at the Weldon-Cooper Center for Public Service at the University of Virginia. She joined Coy Barefoot on the February 6 edition of WINA’s “Charlottesville–Right Now!” to discuss the Center’s recent study of Virginia’s Hispanic population.

“Virginia’s Hispanic population tripled from 150,000 in 1990 to more than 460,000 in 2006,” Cai said.
